Gorgeous Hair for Your Big Day

Decisions, decisions! Picking a venue, a theme, a template for the invitations and the other million decisions a bride has to make – they can all generate a lot of stress. And yet, of all the things you have to choose, don’t forget about the way you look. For a lot of brides, their wedding look is the most important piece of the puzzle – and that’s perfectly understandable given the huge amount of attention you are going to receive on your wedding day.

One of the things that is really important for your wedding look is your hair. How do your pick the right style when it comes to this and how do you make it look simply gorgeous? Here are some tips to consider.

• Your dress should have a big “say” in how your hair will look. For instance, if you have a very intricate dress, avoid a very complex hairstyle. It will make you look like you “overdid” it and that is the last thing you want. Furthermore, how much skin your dress shows in the upper part should also be taken into consideration. For example, if your dress covers most of the upper part, you should try to settle for an updo since this will not “crowd” your shoulders and neck area.
• Don’t die your hair in a completely new color right before the wedding. In fact, don’t die it right before the wedding at all (unless you are 100% certain that you will get the exact same shade you know you look perfect in). Otherwise, you risk waking up to a color that doesn’t suit you well – and on the most important day of your life.
• Aside from the hairstyle , you should also remember that you should give your hair some extra care too. This starts long before the wedding and it involves masks, conditioners and other hair care products. If you can afford it, get these treatments from a professional because it will definitely be worth it.  
• Pick some nice accessories for your hair too, but again, remember not to overdo it!

Hair and Makeup That Lasts on Your Wedding Day

Choosing the perfect hair and makeup look for your wedding day can be just as hard as picking the perfect dress. It is important to factor in the overall theme of your wedding. Your hair and makeup should follow the same feel and should be completely "you." Your hair and makeup should be similar to what you wear every day. Of course, turning up the drama and having a little fun is perfectly fine, it is your wedding day! Here are some other aspects to take into consideration:

1. Weather
The climate in your wedding location is one of the most important things to plan for when planning your big day. For a summer wedding, an undo hairstyle is best for comfort in the hot and humid weather. During the windier fall months, a look that keeps your hair away from you eyes and mouth is key for keeping your makeup pristine. When choosing the perfect lip look in the fall, opt for a jour matte look to avoid sticky lips. If your wedding is indoors you have many more options for your hair and makeup. Just be sure that the colors are vibrant enough to take on the harsh light from the camera's flash.

2. Time
How much time are you giving yourself between getting ready and taking the first steps down the aisle? This is important to think about because makeup looks best within 3 hours of being applied. Try to schedule your makeup application time closer to the walk down the aisle so you can look fresh! Don't forget to use a primer and a setting spray after the look is complete.
If you have a longer day ahead of you, plan for styles and looks that have staying power. Braids and tight curls will hold all day, while big loose curls will start to fall out after a few hours. If you are changing to a more dance-friendly dress for the reception, you can use that time to freshen up and add a more practical style for your party. A little spritz of rose water to the face can bring back the glow.

3. Costume Changes
You may be planning for the dress change between the ceremony and the reception. Plan ahead so this transition is completely flawless. For the first dress, wear the appropriate lingerie from the start that way you aren't messing up your makeup by removing a sports bra. While applying makeup and perfecting your hair, where a robe or button down that will be easy to take off without having to be pulled over your head. If you are wearing a veil, practice putting it on so it is comfortable and secure and won't mess up your hair.

If you have already chosen your wedding dress, make sure that you let your makeup artist know what it looks like. If this is something you still haven’t discovered, feel free to go through our collection to find a dress that may be perfect for your big day.

Wedding Hairstyle: Tips on Choosing What Works for You

When it comes to your wedding, it is really important that you are able to look your best. With the right dress, accessories, hair, and makeup, you can look like a beauty queen on an important event in your life. Especially since a woman’s hair is her crowning glory, you have to make sure that you choose a hairstyle that fits your wedding day. Here are some tips on how you can pick out the right hairstyle:

Choose a Dress First

Before you start looking for hairstyles to wear during your wedding, you need to pick out the dress that you will be wearing. This is because the style of your dress has something to do with the hairstyle you choose. Whether you go for an updo or to let your hair down, you will need to see to it that your hairstyle matches your dress too.

Follow Your Natural Hair

Unless you’re willing to have your hair treated especially for your wedding day, you will need to stick with a hairstyle fit for your natural hairstyle. If you have curly hair, you can opt to have it straightened so that it becomes manageable on your wedding day. If you’re not willing to have your hair go through this extreme procedure, you can simply have your hair loose or go for an updo, depending on the style of dress you will be wearing.

Find a Hairstylist

An important part of having your hair look good on your wedding is to have it done by a professional hairstylist. With the number of different stylists offering their services, you need to make sure you go through their previous work so you know how capable they are of handling hair the same kind as yours.

Book a Trial

Once you have already found a hairstylist, the next thing you need to do is book a trial. This will help you and your stylist figure out the best hairstyle for your wedding dress. At the same time, you can already see how well the style will look on you. On the day of your wedding, you both don’t have to waste time finding a hairstyle for your big day!

Remember that when you’re choosing a hairstyle for your wedding, you need to start with the dress. Browse through our collection today for some options that you may be interested in.

Hairstyle Options for Your Wedding Day

Nowadays, there are so many options for making your hair stand out during your big day. This is important to know for brides because they will be the star throughout the entire day. If she is unable to keep her appearance good, she might not look good in the photos. As such, it is important that she prepares for the big day by looking her best.

Apart from hiring a good hairstylist, it really pays to know what the bride’s options are. If you are the bride-to-be for an upcoming wedding, here are some tips on how to wear your hair:

Retro Glam

One of the trends for bridal or bridesmaid hair is highly influenced from old Hollywood. Known as the retro glam hairstyle, it is a style wherein one side of the hair is pinned behind the ear and created with an S pattern. Another option for bries is to have a side swept chignon with a loose braid; as it keeps the face clean.

Half Up, Half Down

A foolproof hairstyle for a bride is a half up, half down. This is a great option for those who do not know any other hairstyle that would be a good match for their dress. It’s really important that the dress is not too hidden by the hair, especially if wearing an embroidered top. Otherwise, the top portion of the dress will be hidden by hair.

When picking out hairstyles for your bridesmaids, you have to remember that you do not need to have them match all their style. This is no longer applicable in today’s time, as it really is about the preference of your bridesmaids.

How Your Hairstyle Effects Your Dress

Did you know that how you wear your hair can change how your wedding dress looks on you? Whether it's flowing locks, a classic chignon, or a vibrant hue, when you change your hairstyle it will change the overall look of your wedding gown, too. This is why it can be important to keep your hair in mind when trying on dresses.

The style you choose for your wedding day can work with or against your dress style. Knowing what your dress looks like with your hair up and down can help you make a decision. If you're set on an updo, a strapless dress might look too bare. If you're wearing your hair down, its neckline might get lost.

Color is another big factor to consider. Many brides decide to change their hair color for their big day, not realizing that it can also change their overall coloring. This can mean that a white dress will look washed out, and that an ivory gown becomes the perfect choice, or vice versa.

If you haven't chosen your hairstyle by the time you come to Suzanne's Bridal Boutique to find your perfect wedding dress, don't worry! Come prepared, though, and bring some clips or hairbands so you can check out each dress with your hair up and with your hair down so you can get an idea of the overall perfect look for your big day.
